If you’re looking for a scant trace of vitamin C, here’s where you’ll find it

Here’s the latest (and most ridiculous) way to boost antioxidant intake: Splenda.

With a new line of Splenda products — called Splenda Essentials — you can get 20 percent of your recommended daily intake of vitamins C and E in a single packet of the popular artificial sweetener.

I’m sure many people use five or more Splenda packets per day, so that’s all you need of these two vitamins!

Well…that’s according to the FDA. And if it sounds absurdly oversimplified, it is.

I hope nobody really believes they could pick up more than a scant trace of vitamins from a Splenda packet. But I guess anything is possible when the FDA seems to think that a scant trace of vitamins C and E are plenty enough to get you through the day.
